Remove or comment lines 1029 and 1030 from useradd.c to remove the -D
flag check.
If this is "feature" and not a "bug" in useradd on Debian then -b
should be documented to match the functionality of the code. That is, -b
should then be documented to state that -D must be specified in conjunction
with -b to set a new default base directory. Based on that, -b can never
be used to temporarily set the base directory in conjunction with -m.

The first solution was implemented in 4.0.1.
I will not make a upload to stable for that bug as it can be worked
around.
